Type Ensnaring Life
Official Description
A hermit crab native to the Sandy Plains. It sticks to cliffs in small groups and eats plants and smaller creatures there, dirt and all. The consumed dirt accumulates in the shell and is excreted when it's large ebough. When attacked, the group goes into high alert, shooting lumps of earth at their attacker.

How to Use Pincercrab

Start Shooting Earth When Attacked

These endemic lifeforms cannot be picked up, but they stick to walls with their cannon-like shells facing outward. Hitting a Pincercrab with a long-ranged attack from a Bowgun or throwing a Kunai will cause them to start shooting earth.

Run Over Them To Activate Them

Run Over Pincercrabs to Activate Them

You can also use Pincercrabs by running over them. This will cause them to begin firing, hitting monsters opposite of the wall.
